Not sure what to tell you other than your phone might have a personality disorder.

Its a strange situation.
When I use phone info , I get different info.

It seems as if you have flashed the wrong cscs or something as it is showing several different things I would find the stock firmware and start clean

Thank you for the answer, I get this phone from china.
So I didnt flash anything.
The strange thing is that the S/N on the back site is not the same when I search via *#06#.
On the back site is written like SM-G950F.

maybe is a fake one ....... as I Know the S8 series an others .... are built in Vietnam

This may also be true I have seen a lot of 'clones' in my day and can tell em apart sometimes
May be one of those cross flashed refurbs
We had this issue in lg g4s real bad claim to be one model with other firmwares....ended up being 1 model with other parts and other firmwares which made for a crap of a time
Heres the issue you have a exynos model according to some info and us snap model by others. So its real hard as you may need to find what true bootloader is on the device as you may brick trying to restore as snaps are bootloader locked
I would contact the seller and ask What is up that you know something isnt right. And you are not happy as you cannot upgrade as the device has much misleading info inside it

Thank you for the information , maybe its a refurbished phone.
I will have to contact the seller.

S10 Plus Firmware

Hey guys.
I just bought the S10 Plus from Verizon. I normally purchase the devices unlocked; I don't know why I went through my carrier. I've been using the Note9 until now, but I just had a question. I know that US model devices are manufactured the same and can have different firmware flashed. I've been looking for the S10 Plus firmware, but have been unsuccessful in locating anything for the G975U, I've only been able to find firmware for the 975F. Does anyone know where I can find the correct firmware? I can't stand Verizon's bloatware and removal of some features. Checked Sammobile and a couple other places online, also looked through the forums here, but I don't know if I'm just stupid, but I can't find it. Thanks for your help!

Your post makes no sense. You're asking about a950u which is us model. Your pic is of a 950f European model.

yes, but that's the fact, on the pcb it says g950u, and the chipset is detected on PC qualcom, but the cellphone information says g950f and when dial * # 1234 # shows the results like this

but if I use the dial code * # 12580 * 369 # it will address the results like this

then when I use the 'phone info' application the results are like this

So its a950 u. With 950f stuff on it. Probably unlocked and setup to run on a international carrier. The bootloader version of the important one. And what i would go off of

and this test results from 'miracle thunder' addressed the results as shown below

like this

I blinked using the G950u and G950u1 all failed, luckily my cellphone didn't bootloop,

I tried to flash using the G950U SQU2CRB 9 oreo firmware, but it failed, so which should I use which firmware to upgrade?

I dont really know. Some one had it customized to a non us carrier. So other than downloading the latest firmware you can find on sam mobile and try but it may mess with what ever carrier its setup to use

Thank you all, now I am grateful to upgrade to Android Pie, apparently, I have to use Odin version 3.1.3

Samsung tab T510 wifi only can't get it frp

Samsung tab T510 wifi only can't get it frp

I haven't tried this because Samsung removed my lock but I came across it by searching "odin FRP patch". It says it is 2020 and its free to try. https://www.imyfone.com/unlock-andro...ile-with-odin/
Can't hurt to try.

Hey has anyone had any luck removing the frp lock. I've got a sm-t510 xsa version. From what I've seen a combination file is possibly the solution.
Can't seem to find a version for my tablet.
Does anyone know where to find or possibly convert the Odin firmware to do the job?
Thank you

Combo files no longer work. If you have proof of purchase, there is a good possibility that the tablet is still in warranty and Samsung Support will remove the lock. One other way I've heard of is to flash the Chinese stock ROM. It doesn't support Google Accounts so you can boot it and enabable OEM. Then you can flash back to ROM for your region and the tablet will be unlocked.

Yeah. A magic wand will work too. Hmmm, don't seem to have one of those either.

Samsung S8 Brick HELP

I tried flashing Magisk onto my phone, everything was going well then suddenly it went into a boot loop and I assume Knox was tripped. I can get it into download mode but I can't find the firmware and I'm quite lost. Someone, please help!

I am also looking for my firmware. I must say it's a huge pain in the rear to find something that you can download for free.
From what I found it seems the fastest option is from samfw dot com
There, you have to find out your version, your region and carrier as well.
Good luck, you're not alone, although as you wrote it 4 days ago I assume and hope you already found something
edit: found better site
